The 3 things you SHOULD know about petrol in diesel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is actually an important matter to deal with in an automobile - especially in modern-day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in your fuel is going to lead to idling difficulties, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it is not taken care of fully, potentially ruined injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of compared to water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to solve both cases quite quickly.

Be aware however that so long as the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible need a new fuel filter to be installed because the previous one will probably be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find you have the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help clean it out. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near enough to a car or truck parking spot we should be able to gain access to the fuel tanks and drain out the fuel. We have done many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.

How to find out if I put the wrong fuel in my car?

If you’ve just filled up at a petrol station and the cars starts to act a bit strange you might start to wonder if you accidentally put the wrong fuel in it.

Well, there are a few things to can check that will be able to tell you:

  1. How is the car responding? There are some very common misfuel symptoms which can be a good indicator of wrong fuel:
    • Loss of engine power – can feel like the car has run out of fuel
    • A lot of smoke (more than usual)
    • Engine coughing or starting to splutter
    • Won’t start – or keeps stalling.
  2. Look at your fuel receipt. It will state clearly if you filled up with diesel or unleaded. If you don’t have the receipt, you can often return to the petrol station where you filled up and give them the date and time (and pump) where you refueled and they will often be able to give you a VA receipt.
  3. Smell it. Diesel and petrol have very distinctly different smells. Anyone familiar with the motor industry should be able to help you with this. Or you could even get another car to park alongside and smell the fuel caps of both, comparing them to determine what the fuel type is.
  4. Call us to come out and assess the car. In the majority of cases we will be able to tell if the car has been misfueled before beginning work on it. If we discover that the vehicle does not need a fuel drain, you will only be charged a call-out fee.
